Proverbs 18:3

Proverbs 18:3 in 6 English translations. Each links through to the full chapter for context.

New International Version (NIV)

3When wickedness comes, so does contempt,

and with shame comes reproach.

3When a wicked person comes, contempt also comes,

And with dishonor comes taunting.

3When a wicked man comes, contempt also comes,

And with dishonor comes scorn.

3When the wicked man comes [to the depth of evil], contempt [of all that is pure and good] also comes,

And with inner baseness (dishonor) comes outer shame (scorn).

3With a wicked man comes contempt as well,

and shame is accompanied by disgrace.

3People hate it when evil comes.

And they refuse to honor those who bring shame.
